We are a digital transformation and marketing consulting group helping clients develop products and marketing strategies that generate revenue quickly.

For what projects/services did your company hire Vates?

We hired Vates to help us with a digital transformation projects for one of our clients. Our client is interested in developing an IoT and real time analytic based product to get a competitive edge in industry. The main goal was to thoroughly educate Onmarc and our client in what can be done with IoT and real time analytics so that the product developed could be successful.

The consulting service lasted about 6 months and included the development of several proof of concepts (PoC). The IoT (PoC) developed included The development of an automated water testing solution with real time analytics. Our client is in the swimming pool industry and is interested in developing a product to help swimming pool cleaning services be more efficient with their job.

The first PoC focused on developing a remote chemical monitoring device to reduce unnecessary trips to the pool owners' houses. This is a mock-up of the prototype of the IoT Real Time Analytics solution. We also developed with VATEs a very detailed customer journey to help us in developing the PoC. Once we developed the dashboard we analyzed creating an application that would be of interest to pool servicing personnel.

We took the proof of concept one more level by making the product connect with the swimming pool filter and pump so that the application developed gave a complete swimming pool maintenance solutions. We analyzed competitor products throughout this consulting service as well. The consulting service included analyzing cognitive functionalities so that the user can talk to the application and receive information via robotic voice technology
